After launching in China last month, vivo has officially brought its X500 series to global markets. The international rollout includes the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max, though availability will differ by region. As with previous vivo releases, the standard X500 is not expected to reach European markets.
The regular X500 will be sold in parts of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, where pricing starts at MYR 4,699 (around $1,149) for the 12GB/256GB model and rises to MYR 5,299 (about $1,296) for the 12GB/512GB version. The global model keeps the same specifications as the Chinese variant, including a MediaTek Dimensity 9600M chipset, a 6.58-inch AMOLED display, a 7,500mAh battery, and a triple rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, 64MP telephoto lens, and 50MP ultrawide camera.
vivo X500 Pro pricing and features
The X500 Pro is positioned above the standard model and is priced at MYR 5,699 (approximately $1,394) in Malaysia for its single 12GB/256GB configuration. In Europe, the phone starts at €1,299 for the same memory and storage combination, while the 512GB version costs €1,449. It carries the same hardware as the Chinese release, featuring the Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, a 6.39-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, a 6,510mAh silicon-carbon battery, and a camera setup that includes a 50MP main shooter, 200MP periscope telephoto camera, and 50MP ultrawide lens.
vivo X500 Pro Max brings flagship focus to the lineup
The X500 Pro Max remains the most premium device in the series. The global version comes with a slightly smaller 7,800mAh silicon-carbon battery compared with the 8,000mAh cell used in the Chinese model. Even so, all three phones support 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging. In Malaysia, the X500 Pro Max begins at MYR 6,099 (about $1,491) for the 12GB/256GB trim and reaches MYR 9,699 (around $2,372) for the 16GB/1TB photography kit edition. European pricing starts at €1,499 and goes up to €2,199 for the top-tier 1TB model with the photography kit.
The global arrival of the X500 series strengthens vivo’s flagship portfolio outside China, giving buyers more choice across high-end performance, long battery life, and advanced camera hardware.
